Description

The RCC Pro Team Insulated Gilet makes use of revolutionary Polartec Alpha® insulation to create the perfect outer layer for hard rides on changeable days or for café stops with clubmates. The Alpha® insulation delivers class-leading warmth without the volume of down and is highly breathable, ensuring you don’t overheat during harder efforts. Equally fast-drying and hydrophobic, the gilet won’t hold moisture like natural down, allowing you to work a sweat up without retaining moisture. A DWR-coated, windproof front keeps your chest warm, while the stretch fabric on the back ensures a great fit, as well as letting body heat out. The gilet has three pockets on the back for storing valuables, and the double-ended Vislon zip provides easy access to your jersey pockets or to help you regulate body temperature. A game-changer for those who like their club kit fast but warm.

“The best part of this jacket is its ability to regulate core body temperature through a wide range of temperatures. It kept me perfectly warm at a consistent temperature, from the start to the end of my ride.”

Laura Scott, cyclist.co.uk – ★★★★★ 4.5/5

“…True to Rapha's detail-honed heritage, all the little things are on point, too, from the reflective hit at the bottom of the middle pocket and the hidden, zippered storage—big enough for an iPhone or car keys—on the side. I anticipate wearing this vest more than any other item of bike clothing I own.”

Very warm, easy to stuff in your back pocketI have two of these, one in RCC colours and a plain blue one. I've bought this in a large, and while I can get way wearing a medium, the large is a better fit. I'm 5'11", 40in chest, and weigh 75kg. The front panel is great at keeping the chill off of your chest, while the rear is perfectly breathable. I have worn this on cold damp mornings and it just works.
Having rear pockets on this gilet is a huge advantage over gilets that cover your rear pockets. Being able to stuff this in your back pocket makes it perfect for those cooler rides

SuperbBrilliantly effective as a warm layer, windproof but light and scrunchable. Looks brilliant in RCC trim. Fits like standard Pro Team range. Better than brevet as it has zip pockets.

Great giletI literally joined RCC just to get this gilet. Looks great on, not as warm as the brevet insulated gilet, but this one has pockets!
